The head of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce in the Gaza Strip, Aid Abu Ramadan, said that the humanitarian aid convoys entering Gaza do not cover 15% of the citizens’ needs.

Abu Ramadan explained in a statement to Voice of Palestine Radio that the prices of basic commodities are witnessing significant increases compared to before the war, which makes it difficult for citizens to buy them even if they are available in the markets, in addition to the real liquidity crisis resulting from the complete shutdown of banks and the destruction of the currency in circulation.

In a related context, the head of the NGO Network in the Gaza Strip, Amjad Al-Shawa, said that 110,000 tents shelter displaced people in various parts of the Gaza Strip, and those inside them are shivering from the severe cold in light of the famine, the prevention of aid from entering, and the need for 25,000 patients to leave the Strip to receive treatment.

Al-Shawa pointed out the repeated requests from the World Health Organization and the Red Cross to protect medical staff, patients and hospitals, while the occupation authorities evade all international laws and resolutions, arrest the wounded and medical staff, and bomb and burn hospitals.

In turn, the Director of Supporting Medical Professions at Al-Muhtaseb Hospital in Hebron, Nidal Abu Afifa, said that five thousand units of blood have been collected as part of the fourth blood donation campaign for our people in the Gaza Strip, and to meet the needs of our people in the Strip, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and the Rahma International Foundation.

Abu Afifa added that since the beginning of the aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip, three blood donation campaigns have been sent, during which ten thousand units were delivered.
